ARE THE PEOPLE CORRUPT7

The disclosures of venality and corrup-
ton being made in San Francisco at this
time, are not only paralyzing but humili-
ating. Seeking reason for all this
foulness, we are told that is because the
people are corrupt; that the stream rises
no higher than its source, and that a tree
must be judged by its fruits But the ap-
piicatlon of the answer to the preya-
lent phases of political corrup-
ton is not justified. 1t does not
indicate the dishonesty of the people; but
it does testify to the neglect of duty by
citizens. The political ills that af1iict US
are simply the result of our neglect
nothing more. We have it in our power
at any time to conduct all branches of the
Government upon the basis of fair-dealing,
competency and honesty. That men are
sent to the Legislature who go there solely
to do the bidding of the constituencies and
to represent only the vicious is due only
to the neglect of the people to exercise in
their public capacity the same degree of
vigilance, caution and discretion that char
acterizes their conduct in private business.
In time this neglect will cease; activity by
those now inert will take its place and all
official positions will be filed by men rep
resentative of the people, who, as a great
mass, are not only not corrupt, but are the
conservators of honesty and the champions
of purity in government. There are perils
observable upon the political and social
horizon of the country which wisdom will
not ignore venality in public office is not
the least of them; but, fortunately for
American institutions, the people, slow to
awaken to danger, are, once aroused, ire
sistible in reform. They will not permit
the vitality of the nation to be sapped by
corruption, nor for a much longer time
commit to few, the discharge of those
functions of citizenship which can be pre-
served only by their constant exercise by
all the people.

MORMON AFFAIRS,
a Minority Report by Two Members of

WASHINGTON, October 7th.-John A. Nc
Clernand and A. r. Carlton, of the Utah

minority say: = While concurripg in part

the general animus and propriety of intro

OF the new registration law upon the
election of Delegate to the Fiftieth Con-
gress, the dissenting Commissioners say
that early in the present year they thought
they discovered disposition among the
Mormons to give up the practice of DO
lygamy, and add that they have used their
Official and personal influence to induce
the Mormons TO take such steps, The Com
mlssloners wish to disclaim any interior
ence in the question of Statehood for
Utah, but consider that, whether the Terri
Tory De admitted or not, strong advanced
position Is gained when the mass of the
people are induced to place themselves on
record in opposition to polygamy.
Now, While the great mass Of the Nor
mon people are making an effort for the
abandonment of the practice Of poIygamy,
we are asked to recommed further legisla-
ton OF hostile and aggressive character,
almost-if not entirely-destructive of local
self-goyernment, thereby intlicting punish
ment upon the innocent as we'll as the
guilty. This We decline TO do
The Commissioners instead recommend
the adoption of ali amendment TO the Con-
stitution Of the United States prohibiting
the institution or practice of polyeamy in
any of the States or Territories.

The RECORD UNION has undertaken the
important enterprise now announced in
confidence that its merit, and its high value
to Sacramento, will compensate for the
heavy outlay involved. The expectation
to be able to print many thousands of these
beautiful pictures is now resolved into as.
surance, and We are able to saw to the peo-
pie that Sacramento will. by this means, be
pictorially advertised in the most thorough
and widespread manner. In fact. we are
confident that the editions viii far exceed
the remarkable number of copies issued
and distributed of similar art work illus
trative of San Diego, where the demand
exhausted the capacity of the photographic
stone to yield impressions without
re-drawing. a hundred thousand of these
pictures, distributed throughout the United
States, will do more to call attention TO
Sacramento, and invite readers to her i'm
migration and development literature, than
any other means that can be employed.

TREATING Of the decadence of the quail
ity of our Legislatures the San Francisco
Aha SAYS: "The cure will be found in
enlarging the responsibility of the legisla-
tive Office, in giving larger endowment
of power, making it more dangerous than
now in the hands of bad men or weak.
This will force the people in self-defense
to rally to its publication" That is a
sound conclusion. The way TO invite
trustworthiness is to impose trusts. Make
the legislative office of higher Importance
and greater power, and the people will not,
as now, neglect the business of manu-
featuring legislators. In self-defense
they will be driven to that activity
in primal steps in politics, neglect of
which on the part of the good citizen, has
given both to the ward and city, and dis
trict and State politics over to few who
do manifest activity.

TICKET-SCALPERS.
An Effort to DO Made TO Head Them on
Circular Letter Issued

The San Francisco Call of yesterday has
the following: The Southern Pacific Com
pany has determined to exterminate scalp
ing" if such thing be within the limits
of possibility. The latest preventive meas
ure has taken the shape of the following
circular letter. issued by T. II. Goodman to
the local agents of the transcontinental
lines:
Having been authorized so to do, we
purpose, until otherwise advised, to re-
deem or purchase the unused parts of ex-
cursion tickets to California points, but
only when presented in person by the orig
inal purchaser. We will do this at our
city Office and at the following valuation or
amount Subject to suspension or change)
for such tickets from San Francisco: To
Missouri river points via Union Pacific,
Denver, and Rio Grande, Burlington, Texas
and Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron Mount
ain, also to New Orleans via Ell Paso $40 );
to St. Paul via Shasta route and Northern
Pacific, $50"
OPINIONS ON THE LETTER.
Some of the agents are disposed to think
that the issuance of this letter is mis-
take, irasmuch as it virtually makes a cut
of $50 in the first-class unlimited rate from
Missouri river points to this city The
first-class unlimited rate from all Missouri
River points, such as Kansas City and
Omaha, to San Francisco is $50, while the
round trip excursion rate, good to return
within six months, is also $50. Passen-
gers purchasing tickets from Missouri
River points are thus enabled to secure
their trip for $40 without the trouble or
risk of dealing with scalpers. The circu-
lar, in fact. absolutely constitutes single
trip rate of $40 unlimited from Missouri
River DOintS To San Francisco
DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE sCALPERs.
The order cannot fail to be disappoint-
ment to the scalpers. They have invari-
ably been able to procure a large number
of tickets from passengers who have de-
cided to stay over, and these they sell to
other people, of course at a reduced rate
and Infringement of the contract on the
ticket. 1t will also be noticed that tickets
sold via the Atlantic and Pacific, or Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe companies are
not returned under this order.
T. H. Goodman in conversation stated
that the railroad company felt it could
afford to buy back these tickets as well as
the scalpers. 1t was intended as a con-
venience to the travelling public, also to en-
courage excursiopists to permanently locate
in California. If any purchaser of one of
these tickets, said Hr. Goodman. desires on
visiting here to take up his residence in
California, it is actually paying invest
ment for the company to purchase the re-
turn portion of his ticket from him for $50.
1t will undoubtedly both encourage emf
grafton to this State, and will be effective
besides in inducing people to remain here.

A SUFFERING community had hoped it
had heard the last of the Sharon-Hill case,
but it has reappeared in charges of at
tempted bribery of the Judge who presided
at the trial. But as yet the matter has
not taken that definite form that justifes
positive conclusions. This much, how
ever, would appear to be certain, that
Judge Sullivan, whom it is charged was
unsuccessfully approached, is bound to say
whether indeed the attempt was made.
We can understand, however why he
might hesitate to name the agent en-
ployed, if the charge is true, since it might
be simply the case of one mans word
against another, with no possibility of set
Ting the question which of the two should
be disbelieved. If he was approached
and had spoken and have acted at once,
the matter would have taken on quite a
different form.

wards us lengthy communication re-
garding the restoration Of the Irish
language which, owing to pressure on
our columns, we are unable to publish
in full. However, the following ex-
tract, we believe, will be sufficient to
show that Mr.. Cream should receive the
encouragement of all Irishmen in the
enthusiasm he is endeavoring to infuse
into the effort that is being made to re-
suscitate the language of the ancient
Celts: ''Of the thousands who spend
time and money learning French, not S
per cent. are worth talking about as
French scholars; not I per cent. ever
make a living by their knowledge of it.
There has been in existence here in st.
Paul during the past three weeks a
school for the preservation and teach
ing of the Irish language. The class
meets in No. West Third street; the
teacher makes no charge and he antici-
pates, from henceforth, a large and in

THE CHURCH AND THE K. OF L.


Although Cardinal Gibbons, since
his return from Rome, has refused to
commit himself with regard to the pre-
else attitude which the Catholic Church
will maintain towards labor organiza-
lions, enough has been CLEANED to con-
firm our assertions in the past that the
Church will ever remain the friend Of
the laboringman. A telegram states
that His Eminence, before giving his
views to the public on this important
question will call a council OF the eleven
Archbishops of the American Catholic
ierarchy and then decisive steps will
be taken, which will leave no doubt Of
the Church's attitude. From a close
companion Of the Cardinal, the tele-
gram goes on to say, a reporter received
some intimations regarding the prob
able character of the forthcoming docu-
ment. The right Of laboring men to
combine for their common benefit will
be conceded, and all such lawful COM
binations will receive the blessings of
the Church. But Catholics will be for
hidden to take part in boycotts or any
5infringements Of the rights Of citizens,
and they will be forbidden to join any
organization which practices intimida-

IN the late collision of two first class
steamships, crowded with first=class
passengers, all the evidence goes to the
effect that the gentlemen used their
superior strength to crowd the ladies
from all avenues Of escape, which they
proceeded to monopoliZe to the exclu-
sion OF the weaker sex. At the burning
of the Theater Comique, in Paris, the
gentlemen of the audience and the
stage promptly adopted the French
adage of sauve qui peut, and the charred
bodies found afterward in the debris
were those of ladies in full dress, whose
escorts in swallow.tailed coats had
fitted. Does high external refine
ment of human character purge away
it's manhood with it's boorishness (?
Barbarians, backwoodsmen ana noun
taineers would not be guilty of this sell
fish cowardice. The trouble is that
"Cholly" and "Jeems." who are so gal
liant when in the dress parades of social
life, are in danger of having to con-
slider their gallantry in the same light
as their dress-coats-as out ofplace ex-
cept on full-dress occasions.
